QUICK REVIEW: NFL 2K2 is the model of how a football videogame should play. Passing the ball is incredibly intuitive when using the Zen-like max passing system. The run game is equally impressive due to the perfect combination of lightning-quick responsiveness, easy-to-do moves and amazing player animations. Defense is just as remarkable as offense due to a plethora of tackling animations and the same fast control responsiveness. That being said, NFL 2K2 is not for everyone. The game can be too easy on the first two difficulty levels only to change to near-impossible on the hardest level. Also, many will be turned-off by the amount of effort and patience needed to become a skilled NFL 2K2 player. Those who do stick to it will be rewarded with an extremely gratifying videogame experience that is second to none on the PS2. |
